Have you ever tried to make an international telephone call? Do you remember what you needed to do? Online telephone directories provide listings of telephone numbers for individuals and businesses. They provide a convenient way to find telephone numbers when published directories aren't available. Look at the Telefónica de Argentina Web site. Now answer the questions below according to information contained within the Web site.

In order to look for a specific telephone number within Argentina, what three (3) pieces of information are you asked to provide before you can begin your search?

1.

| ¿ | ¡ | á | é | í | ó | ú | ñ | ü |

2.

| ¿ | ¡ | á | é | í | ó | ú | ñ | ü |

3.

Now, do you actually know anyone in Argentina? If so, let's look him or her up in the Guía telefónica. If not, make up a name.
